Also included is Internet access control for up to ten computers. You can deny access to specific Web sites by URL (up to ten) and to certain applications. We found the interface to this feature confusing, however. You're also forced to adopt the BroadGuard's IP addressing scheme on your network. A future firmware upgrade promises more clarity and flexibility.

We connected the BroadGuard to two computers, as well as to the Proxim Symphony cordless Ethernet Bridge and the uplink port on a Linksys 10/100 Switch/Print Server. The Linksys was connected to a third computer, while a fourth computer connected via the Symphony bridge. The BroadGuard's cable/DSL port was connected to a Westell DSL modem used to access Verizon's DSL service.

Setup was easy via the supplied Web browser interface. We chose DSL as our broadband connection and provided the PPPOE parameters. You can choose to auto-connect on demand and auto-disconnect after a specified period of inactivity.

SOHOware's targeting of the home-office market shows in subtle ways. Ports are clearly marked in plain English, and two color-coded cables are provided. DMZ support lets you declare one PC as a demilitarized zone so applications such as games can pass through the firewall. Support for virtual private networking using the PPTP caters to the home-office equation.
